With the popularity of All-Mountain riding, Cannondale introduces the all new Moto with 160mm of balanced suspension travel, the Moto is ready to climb and descend with authority. Loaded with state-of-the-art technology the Moto’s main frame is a monocoque design constructed out of Hi-Modulus carbon fiber. A floating rear shock is driven via the “hatchet” drive giving the suspension a bottomless feel while driving heavy shock forces to the head tube. A massive 66mm “Diablo” head tube shrugs off all unwanted forces keeping the front wheel connected to the ground and the pilot in full control. An optimized oversized pivot connects the swingarm to the main frame via carbon sandwich with large sealed cartridge bearings. The hydroformed asymmetrical chainstays and the assistance of a 12 mm Maxle handle the impacts with flex free performance. Weighting in at a mere 29 pounds, the Moto 1 comes built with a SRAM X-O drive system, Fox 36 Talas RC2 160-130-100mm fork, Mavic Crossmax SX UST wheels and Avid Juicy carbon disc brakes at $6800.00.
